our own system
Hi there, I'm Drew Weilage and I'm working to make healthcare better for patients.
This is a blog with links to healthcare goings on, trends, and uncategorized interestingness as well as attempts to filter my own healthcare thinking through essay.
I am greatly aware of my idealistic, naive even, views on a number of topics. But frankly, I think healthcare is in dire need of more of the "what's possible/what could be" type of thinking. I'm greatly protective of my unabashed idealism but always open to reason and discourse about any of it.
This is round two of my blogging life, the first being archived here.

“Physical tagging!”
I’m completely taken by this concept. A prize, to be determined (by me), to the person who can figure out how we can do something similar in healthcare.
The explanation from Nina Simon:
Haarlem Oost is a branch library in the Netherlands that wanted to encourage visitors to add tags […] to the books they read. […] To do this, the library didn’t create a complicated computer system or send people online. Instead, they installed more book drops and return shelves, labeled with different descriptors like “boring,” “great for kids,” “funny,” etc
And a thought from Robin at Snarkmarket (whence I found this):
Is that great or what? Physical tagging! It feels like the informational equivalent of turning a dance floor into a piezo electric power generator.
